I've been cutting this grass during time off's of the WC in basketball, EC in water polo and, of course, waiting and watching Nole in USOpen. You'll understand how nervous I was.

If you don't have, and I bet you don't, fringing machine ( an angle of 90 or 45 degrees ), than you have to do it manualy, just like I do. Unlike my dad, who thinks that I'm torturing myself while doing this, I really don't mind at all, especially if I find a good radio station. So, he promised, totally initiative, to make me this famous machine ( out of two). Thanks to his ability to improvise and the fact that he dedicated all his life experience rolling, making springs and constructing tools for springs, there is no room for doubt. You'll forgive me on this little promotion , but the machine...

I'll show you the way I still do it. I saw many ways quillers do this fringing but this one is the best for me. I have a wire 0.2mm I put between two folded strips of paper ( this one is 10mm width ).For the purposes of this blog, I started paying attention on amount of paper I use for certain works. I was really surprised when I realized that I fringed almost 6m ( 236in approx) for this grass base ( 70mm x 70mm ). I definitly need that machine!

Дешава ми се да неке честитке, које су ми посебно драге или у којима сам посебно уживала док сам их радила, уопште не могу да "ухватим" фотоапаратом. Тако сам и ову сликала и сликала и сликала...а, ипак, ми се чини да не изгледа тако добро као уживо. Зато сам ставила више слика, из више углова...ваљда ће нека дочарати комплетан утисак.When trying to take a good photograph of some of my cards that are special or very dear to me, I find myself not able to capture their true look using the camera. Same goes with this one, I took many shots of it but it still doesn’t look the same as in nature. Hopefully some of the next photos will transfer the true feeling of this card.

Отворена...

Одскоро поклањам посебну пажњу на унутрашњост честитки, а и на коверте које правим за сваку честитку посебно. Волим да ставим још неки детаљ који ће је употпунити а да, ипак, не претјерам са шаренилом. Надам се да успијевам..Recently I started paying close attention to the inside content of my cards and also to the envelopes that I make for each card separately. I like putting additional details that make card more complete. At the same time I don’t want to add too much to it so it doesn’t look too busy.
